• Find what you love to do and make time for it; reading, painting, travel, hiking
• Create a dynamite wardrobe that puts a smile on your face and boosts your confidence
• Treat yourself to something special once a week
• Work less, play more
• Reinvent yourself if who you are now is not who you want to be (this is not about identity theft!)

Merry Christmas!!

 From our family to yours

Toddler and Kid-Friendly Christmas Tree

" This year we decorated our Kid Christmas Tree with all felted and plastic ornaments to avoid the Toddler + Christmas Tree crisis. Now, when she pulls the ornaments off, its ok! We can let her play with it or ask her to put it back and not worry about her dropping them, getting cut or choking on the metal tops. Luckily for us, she steers clear of the lights. She usually just points and says “HOT” about anything that glows. Grandma taught her well. My in-laws are to thank for all the ornaments. My sister-in-law works in India and she brought the Garland home for us. My mother-in-law got the felt balls at Target. I love all the colors."
